It was the summer of 2020 and Covid-19 was at its peak. No one could really go outside and meet so interactions through the internet were more prevalent then than ever. Dane and I ended up meeting through a mutual friend. They matched on Tinder and it didn‘t really go anywhere but he was invited to play Minecraft on a private server with the friend and some of her friends. I was one of those friends! We vibed really well and it snowballed from there ❤️

It was an unusually pleasant and warm Friday for April that year. I was sitting at my desk at work and messaged Dane to ask if we could go to a park to enjoy the nice weather afterwards. He agreed but little did I know what was about to happen. We hiked through French Creek Nature Preserve for a while, then he stopped, pulled out a box, and proposed! When we got back to the car after some more hiking, Dane commented on how he was worried that I would see the box shape in his pocket but I was way too focused on the nice day that I didn‘t notice at all!
